Parallel lines have equal slopes
Answer:
x = -8 and x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
given
f(x) = (x+8) (x - 4)
recall that at any point on the x-axis, y = 0 [i.e f(x) = 0]
hence to find where the graph crosses the x-axis, we simply substitue f(x) = 0 into the equation and solve for x
f(x) = (x+8) (x - 4)
0 = (x+8) (x - 4)
Hence
either,
(x+8) = 0 ----> x = -8 (first crossing point)
or
(x-4) = 0 ------> x = 4 (second crossing point)
Hence the graph crosses the x-axis at x = -8 and x = 4
1.75 + 0.65m < = 10
0.65m < = 10 - 1.75
0.65m < = 8.25
m < = 8.25 / 0.65
m < = 12.69 miles <==
Answer:
QR=RS=QS=29
Step-by-step explanation:
Given QRS is an equilateral triangle, thus all the three sides of the given triangle will be equal.
Also, from the given statement, we have
QR=2x-7, RS=5x-61 and QS=11+X
Now, As all the sides of the triangle are equal, therefore
QR=RS=QS
⇒QR=RS
⇒2x-7=5x-61
⇒-7+61=5x-2x
⇒54=3x
⇒x=18
Thus, the measure of QR=2(18)-7=29,RS=5(18)-61=29 and QS=11+18=29.
